postoperative complication of cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and …

Background Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is performed both without and with
cardiopulmonary bypass, referred to as off‐pump and on‐pump CABG respectively …

In the present systematic review with meta-analysis, we sought to determine the current
strength of evidence for or against off-pump and on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting …

BACKGROUND: The question whether use of minimal extracorporeal circulation (MECC)
influences patients' outcome remains unanswered. We performed a systemic review of the …

Background The debate on the relative benefits of off‐pump and on‐pump coronary artery
bypass surgery (OPCABG and ONCABG) is still open. We aimed to provide an updated and …
